Further to Lorne's comments about three Peregrine Falcons together, I saw
three from my verandah at Bondi Junction just after noon the previous
Saturday (7/3), passing over Queens Park and Centennial Park, similarly
engaged in acrobatics. This followed on from seeing a Brown Goshawk only
ten minutes earlier. I see Peregrines reasonably often at home, but mostly
singly, and I've seen Brown Goshawks far less frequently from there. Sorry
for the delay, but it was Mardi Gras weekend so by the time I thought to
post it, I didn't bother. Cheers.

I had three Peregrine Falcons flying together over Surry Hills, near
Central Station, Sydney, late last Friday. The birds were raucous and
engaged in acrobatics. Very cool. Never seen three together like this before.
